"Some birds aren't meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright"- Morgan Freeman, Shawshank Redemption. This blog is from one such bird who couldn't be caged by organizations who mandate scripted software testing. Pradeep Soundararajan welcomes you to this blog and wishes you a good time here and even otherwise.

Never heard about it?I googled the term and found one helpful link. http://www.phadkeassociates.com/index_files/robusttesting.htm but Wiki doesn't have any results for it, as per me its not as concrete as other testing techniques.

Robust testing means the degree to which a software system or component can function correctly in the presence of invalid inputs or stressful environmental conditions

Is it something like the stability Testing? I never heard of this terminology.

While the world thinks test estimation is a very tough thing to do, I think, everyone gets test estimation right. The point at which they realize their estimates were wrong is the time they get the estimation right. I wish they corrected themselves. Mostly, it remains unfulfilled.

So, the deal is to communicate the number when you know you are getting it right and buy time to get it right. By "right", I mean, more meaningful than you would have when you provided an estimate even without looking at the product.

I don't know what's wrong in going wrong the first time. Most of us learned to ride a bicycle, someone did it in a day and others took a month. How would you have answered a question, how long would you take to learn to ride a bicycle? Some people might need more time to get out of the fear of falling from it and others need time to get the balance right. It varies and hence cannot be determined before even someone got on to a bicycle?
